June is Men’s Health Month

Men’s Health Month encourages men to focus on physical, mental, and social well-being. Throughout June, men are urged to set health goals and create a plan to achieve them. Men aged 15–65 are less likely than women to seek preventive care or have a primary care provider. Taking the first step—scheduling a visit with your primary care doctor—can help identify needed screenings and build a foundation for long-term health. Prioritize mental health, manage stress, stay socially connected, and listen to your body. Men’s Health Month is a great time to take charge and commit to a healthier future.

Reiki for Stress, Pain, and Tension Relief

In our fast-paced world, stress, tension, and pain often become unwelcome companions in the background of our daily lives. Reiki offers a natural and holistic approach to finding relief by guiding the body into deep relaxation. During a session the nervous system settles and pain signals fade, allowing the body to shift into a state of healing. Reiki helps clear stagnant energy, restoring balance and promoting self-recovery. At Healings for Beings, we know that energy healing is more than just a wellness trend, Reiki provides a pathway to greater ease and comfort, helping individuals reclaim a sense of well-being.

Stroke Awareness & Men’s Health Month

June is the perfect time to focus on prevention and early awareness. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in Canada, and men are at a higher risk—especially over age 55. Know the signs: sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, or loss of balance. Healthy lifestyle choices like eating well, staying active, and managing blood pressure can greatly reduce risk. Men’s Health Month also encourages regular checkups and open conversations about physical and mental health. Taking small steps today can lead to stronger tomorrows.

Send Him Some Local Love

With Men’s Mental Health and Father’s Day both in the month of June, this is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the significant men in our lives with nature’s timeless beauty. The variety of floral arrangements and lush plants mirrors the diverse personalities of men. From the classic elegance of roses to the cheerful vibrancy of sunflowers and the tranquility of green plants, each choice is crafted to uniquely honor them. This year, opt for a bouquet and a fruit gift basket, that not only shows appreciation but also symbolically enriches the enduring bond.

Men Deserve Flowers

Flowers aren’t just for women—men appreciate their beauty, sentiment, and the thoughtful gesture behind them. This Father’s Day, surprise the dad, husband, grandfather, or father figure in your life with a bouquet that reflects his personality. Bold blooms, earthy tones, or modern arrangements can brighten his day and express gratitude in a unique way. Whether he’s a nature lover, a quiet supporter, or your family’s rock, flowers say “thank you” in a fresh, memorable way. Giving flowers breaks old stereotypes and brings joy to any space. This year, celebrate Father’s Day with a gesture he won’t expect—but will love.

Men’s Health Month

This Father’s Day and for Men’s Health Month, honour the legacy of the fathers and father figures who’ve shaped our lives by supporting the Brandon Regional Hospital Foundation. Leaving a legacy is about more than achievements—it’s about the lasting impact we make. Legacy gifts to the Foundation help advance healthcare, fund innovative equipment, and improve patient care for future generations. By giving, you ensure a healthier tomorrow for our community. Celebrate this special day by contributing to a cause that strengthens lives and builds a lasting tribute to those who’ve cared, guided, and inspired. Leave a legacy of love, care, and commitment.

Sleep Apnea and Stroke Risk

Sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is a sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This condition can lead to reduced oxygen levels, high blood pressure, and poor cardiovascular health,
all of which contribute to an increased risk of stroke. Studies show that untreated sleep apnea can make individuals more susceptible to ischemic strokes, which occur when blood flow to the brain is blocked.

Starting the Conversation

We all expect certain changes as we age, but when does a small change become something worth paying attention to? The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba’s First Link® Client Support team connects with people every day who aren’t sure if it’s the right time for them to call and get support. The answer is always the same: it’s never too early to start the conversation.
“Anytime someone is concerned about the signs and symptoms of dementia, we can be their link to a community of support,” says Jessica Harper, First Link Senior Manager. “Our programs are geared to people living with any type of dementia, not just Alzheimer’s disease, though a formal diagnosis is not required.”
